You have to use marcusmerge.sh script to do it. For the first time user:

1) Use portsnap or CVSup to update your FreeBSD ports tree.
2) Run 'sh marcusmerge.sh'

As for the update:

1) sh marcusmerge.sh -U (to unmerge)
2) Use portsnap or CVSup to update your FreeBSD ports tree.
3) Run 'sh marcusmerge.sh -u'

That's it. Be sure to read in  
http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ first before you fetch  
that marcusmerge.sh script.

Cheers,
Mezz
